Minnov8 Gang 310 – Why I Love Steroids

Though we’ve never actually seen our guest-host, Julio Ojeda-Zapata, take anabolic steroids—nor have we experienced, or even heard about, any ‘roid rage incidents he has been in—we do know he’s incredibly strong and ripped which will help him continue to lift all the tech gadgets he receives when they arrive.

Most importantly, Julio is quite passionate about Ignite Minneapolis, has delivered a fun and delightful presentation at the 2012 event, and we kick of this week’s show discussing the Spring 2015 event he attended. Maybe he’ll present on ‘roids at Ignite Minneapolis in October?

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Julio Ojeda-Zapata (Phil Wilson is off).
